Brad Shade, an ex‑hockey player who has spent 14 years chasing contracts across leagues, now roams Los Angeles with a suitcase and a new job: scouting the city's rising hockey talent. But his quiet mission is interrupted when the brutally murdered body of a respected coaching legend surfaces. With the case locked in the hands of the police, Brad’s intimate knowledge of the sport and the people around it forces him to step into an investigation. As he follows clues tucked inside the hockey world, the lines between his scouting duties and detective work blur, leading him into a dangerous game of secrets, betrayal, and the hunt for a killer he never expected to find.
